Fergusons Cove in Nova Scotia is a beginner-friendly shore dive in a sheltered cove within Halifax Harbour's outer approaches. The site offers easy entry from a rocky shore into calm, protected waters. The bottom features a mix of boulders, gravel, and sand supporting typical Halifax-area marine life. Lobsters are commonly spotted among the rocks, while sea stars, sea urchins, and moon snails carpet the bottom. The cove's proximity to the harbour entrance means nutrient-rich tidal water flows through regularly, supporting healthy marine growth. A convenient and reliable local dive spot for Halifax-area divers seeking a quick and easy dive.

Absolutely stunning dive site. The visibility was exceptional and we spotted several species we had never seen before. Will definitely come back.
Great spot for advanced divers. Currents can be tricky but the marine life makes it worth it.
One of the best dive sites in the region. Highly recommended.
